Yes, you're not stuck with kids your age every day and are expected to be friends with them, but I go to(sorry, I'm in California now, haven't started anything yet) I went to lots of classes and clubs in England that I really enjoyed and I made friends in every one of them. Friends who are keeping in touch with me while I am in California for a year. If you do what you love doing by going to classes and clubs, then you should meet people who enjoy the same things as you do. When you have something in common, you have something to talk about, which is a great basis to start a friendship on. ♥Hazelhttp://hazelsbooks.blogspot.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-70266642495599159092014-04-14T10:07:22.997+01:002014-04-14T10:07:22.997+01:00When ever i think of home schooling i think of hav...When ever i think of home schooling i think of having no friends is it like that?Freyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00492009645499578738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-34282063356605435942014-04-13T02:15:15.767+01:002014-04-13T02:15:15.767+01:00My school is a total NIGHTMARE!

All the teachers dislike me, I think it's because of my attitude to work, you see I'd rather much be reading a good book rather than finding out what the value of ''x'' is! I will be going to year 7 soon, and I didn't even get into the school I wanted to how am I supposed to like school THIS way?! I'm lucky we don't have to learn no other language, tho it's been a while since my teacher said something in French. However my best subject is Literacy, my teacher says I pay no attention what so ever but actually she doesn't know my passion for writing. Well anyway if we done art a bit more I think that would be a fav subject because I also have a passion for drawing. I have a pet bunny, I drew so many pictures of her! my room is cramped with photos of all the animals I have ever had! Anyway back to the main point. Maths! Yes, maths, another way to get your brain all mixed up! I just don't get why we need school, I have proof: <br />Music: We have youtube.<br />Literacy: We're always typing on laptops and writing letters.<br />French: It's not like we're going to go to France and sing a french song!<br />History: They're dead anyway.<br />Geography: WE HAVE GOOGLE!! <br />Maths: We have to work out the time when our fav program will start. <br /><br />SEE! We don't need school, it's not like I don't like education I just don't like school..

I don't think my little brother would like me to go away, and my parents would miss me. I go to a public secondary school, it's awful there. I'm in top set but I don't think the work is hard enough. We have to use three languages in my school; English, Welsh and French. And we can only pick three subjects of our choices in year ten. :3Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02406034249231063996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7627535531432337588.post-55061488035512105682014-04-12T05:10:53.631+01:002014-04-12T05:10:53.631+01:00Expectations: Girls school and a free,expressive,f...Expectations: Girls school and a free,expressive,friendly atmosphere where I can get lots of encouragement to work hard and excel in exams. Home-schooling is stress-less and exciting. I'm currently studying in a mixed school. There are sure to be lots of adventures and we don't have detentions! YAY!

Sorry. I always wanted to be homeschooled as a child because I've never liked people and they hold me back. However - not to judge Mum's intelligence -she just doesn't have the knowledge of a teacher. Learning maths from someone who can't pronounce hypotenuse would be a rather scary prospect! My English would still be as impeccable as ever as Mum went to a grammar school. Although her grammar is faltering a bit now (she can't even tell the difference between a hyphen and a dash), I'm always there to keep her in line. I guess it's just an interest of mine. Whoops, I rhymed there. Sorry. My worst nightmare would be a Christian school. My old school had distinctly Christian undertones. In P6, the teacher made us recite the Lord's Prayer before we could leave. I never learned the words, I just mumbled along whilst rolling my eyes at how ridiculous it was. In secondary, we were given psalms books. I ripped the pages out and used them as firewood. We once had to attend church at Easter. My brother protested this to the headteacher on our behalf as we only had to go to church at Christmas usually. She replied that if we could get through church at Christmas, we could get through church at Easter. Clearly this was a pass to skip the Easter and Christmas services. We had a kick about in the street (we'd been planning to go to school and study but the teachers had cruelly locked us out) and, although we were never asked about our absence at the Easter service, the deputy head asked us why we were late at Christmas. We told him we weren't attending the church services anymore because we shouldn't have religion forced down our throats. Our mother had called up to explain this but apparently we still needed a note.

My old headteacher was always laid back and planned fun stuff for us but he left after I finished Year 7. Then we got a new headteacher who used to work in a military school so now we have all these strict rules that made my year start acting up. Sometimes we barely get through a lesson cause of their disruption. Our school is Christian so we have to take RE for GCSE. I just hope we can get through a full RE lesson without somebody ruining it!Deborah Akinsulirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07199492583482960008noreply@blogger.com
